Last Haul Before MAC Black & Dsquared Launches

Yep! My BFF and I hit up the CCO again for the 2nd time in two weeks. We won’t be back for a minute so it’s OK. Really. OK so here is what I got from my CCO and Fragrance Outlet (pics to follow)…

CCO:
-Two Fafi figures (I had one of them so why not have them all?)
-MSF Blonde
-MSF Redhead
-Spiced Chocolate Quad
-HK Pink Fish (backup)
-Viva Glam V lipglass
-Fafi Squeeze It Lipglass
-224 brush

Fragrance Outlet:
-NYX e/s trio in Tropical/Yellow/Lime Green (TS10)
-NYX blush in Cinnamon

The funny thing is that today I was telling my BFF about wanting a Spiced Chocolate quad so bad and once we were at the CCO she spotted it and went bananas. We both got a quad…there was only one left after we bought ours. Woot!

Also, the CCO had the Blonde, Brunette, Redhead MSFs in as new items so I got lucky there. I think that the Fafi Lipglass was always there, but I just spotted it today. I almost picked up a 165 and 134 brushes today. I think I’m going to go back on Saturday and get them. The 134 is the most expensive brush MAC has and my CCO has a few. They also have a bunch of 165s too which is being repromoted in the MAC Black collection launching at the end of this month. Sweet!

I’m still thinking about going to the MAC store and buying that 131 brush, but if I decide to try MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation then I’m going to need a 187 brush. Hmmm. I am so used to Bare Minerals foundation and Bisque so I don’t know. Choices!

Enough of my rambling…here are pics of today’s haulage:

My next, next haul will be a fragrance and clothing haul for sure.

Stopped at the Bare Escentuals Store

This past Friday, since I had the day off from work and stopped by the Willowbrook Mall to visit the Disney Store to get toys for my toddler.  Before getting there I stopped into the Bare Escentuals store and took a look at an eyeshadow I’ve been looking at for a while called Denim.  It’s  beautiful, vibrant and highly pigmented, royal blue minearl eyeshadow and I love it.  I didn’t buy it because I had already spent enough money on other stuff, but I just had to go swatch it.

I’m almost out of foundation and I was going to pick one up, but the salesperson there told me about a new foundation that BE is coming out with called, Bare Minerals Matte. The description says, “New Bare Minerals Matt SPF 15 Foundation infused with RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex“.  That sounds all good and everything, but I’ve sampled RareMinerals and didn’t like how it dried out my breakouts and turned them white.  The dry out part is good, but the turning white part isn’t.  So the RareMinerals dries out my breakouts which makes them hard and they hurt even more when I try to squeeze them.  I know I’m not supposed to squeeze my breakouts, but I can’t help!  So there.

This new foundation comes out in about two weeks the salesperson told me.  I’m going to try it out and see what this Matte does for me and to me.  If I don’t like it, I’ll be going back to my regular Bare Minerals Foundation and Bisque.  Here is a picture of the sample pack which comes with a description card and a mini buki brush.  The back of the description card says, “Free Baby Buki Brush brush $15 value with your purchase of Bare Minerals Matte SPF 15 Foundation…“  I hope I like this sample so I can get my baby buki brush! :p
